🚨🎙️ Reporter: “Mo, Egypt will face Argentina in the Round of 16. You’ll come up against Lionel Messi. What are your thoughts on that challenge?”
🚨🗣️ Mohamed Salah: “Getting to play against the best player in history in the next round is going to be a privilege. Messi has shown that even at 39 he is still the best player in the world. We’ll give everything for Egypt, but sharing the pitch with a legend like him is something every footballer appreciates.” 🇪🇬🤝🇦🇷
🚨🗣️ Lopez Cabral (Cape Verde) on facing Lionel Messi:
“Playing against Lionel Messi is something I never imagined would happen in my life. As a child, I watched him on television, and like millions of people around the world, I dreamed of being on the same pitch as him one day. When that moment finally came, it felt unreal.
That night will stay in my heart forever. It wasn’t just another match—it was one of the most emotional moments of my career. After the final whistle, I went over to Messi and told him, ‘Playing against you was a dream I never thought would come true.’ He smiled, hugged me, and said, ‘It’s okay. You deserve even more. Good luck.’
Those words touched me deeply. I’ll remember them for the rest of my life. Sharing the pitch with the greatest player in football history and receiving that kindness from him is something no trophy can replace. Thank you, Leo, for making one of the greatest nights of my life unforgettable.” ❤️🇨🇻🐐
🚨 BIG BREAKING 🚨
A friend of mine who runs a big Football Twitter account says they were approached by a PR team for paid World Cup-related posting specifically against Argentina.
This explains why many random accounts are suddenly exploding with the 'rigged' narratives.
Mateo Silvetti🇦🇷🗣️: Es un orgullo jugar con Messi, compartir un: Buen día, unos mates, eso hace que lo admire tanto porque se muestra sencillo como él es, y siendo la persona quien es, NUNCA pasa el lado y NO te saluda, cosas que uno siendo fanático o idolatrandolo tanto son cosas simples que uno lo agradece.
Leo es un idolo en todo sentido tanto afuera y dentro de la cancha, esa sencillez y uno viéndolo en el día a día tambien te lo demuestra con el ejemplo, él es como uno mas.
🥹🚨 Leo Messi on IG: "Thank you to my country and to everyone around the world for all the birthday wishes. Every year you outdo yourselves and move me even more.
"Thank you to my family and my friends, who are always there for me.
And thank you to my teammates for this very special gift. It’s a huge pleasure to live through all of this and be able to share it with you.
It’s something beautiful to go out and compete against anyone knowing I have them by my side.
Thank you, a big hug to everyone!”
هل تتذكر رسالتك لميسي❓
انزو فيرنانديز: "نعم، أتذكر تلك الرسالة جيداً، الحقيقة أنها كانت لحظة صعبة على جميع الأرجنتينيين أن نعيش ذلك الموقف.
وأعتقد أنني اليوم سأكتب رسالة تحمل مشاعر وعاطفة أكبر بكثير، لأنني أرى أنني شاركت معه لحظات أكثر، وتعلّمت الكثير إلى جانبه.
إنه شخص رائع، ولاعب عظيم لا توجد كلمات تكفي لوصفه، لذا أعتقد أن الكتب لن تكفيني اليوم لأكتب فيها كل ما تعلمته بجانبه، وكل تلك اللحظات التي تشاركناها معاً." 🐐
🎙️ Julián Alvarez, na ESPN: "Vamos tentar vencer a Copa do Mundo por Lionel Messi novamente, o melhor jogador da história merece ser bicampeão mundial."
Comentário de Luis Suárez na publicação de Messi:
"Você é uma estrela e único, gordo. Que o futebol continue a te apreciar, porque nunca haverá outro igual a você." 🥺🫶🏼
